Please add me to the INFO-VAX mailing list.

We are planning a conversion from VMS 3.7 to 4.0, with future conversions
taking us to the current VMS version.  We support many RSX/IAS tasks
including the TKB associated with VMS 3.0 (don't ask why, we must be
able to continue using it).  I have heard that AME does not support as
many executive functions as are supported in VMS 3.7 but have not been
able to find a specific list of changes from 3.7 to 4.0 (the SPD lists
changes from a real RSX to AME but not what we need).  Any info on this,
or any other pitfalls of going to 4.0 (user-written drivers etc.) would
be greatly appreciated.
